Four hurt in Durban CBD store collapse

Four people have been hurt after a mezzanine level in a Durban store collapsed on them.

The Fire Department's Trevor Stevens says the wooden structure came crashing down in a small clothing store in Bond Street in the CBD.

"It appears to be an unstable structure, we have - as the Fire Department - closed the shop and prevented them from operating. It is a temporary closure until they get a structural engineer to certify the mezzanine, or they remove it completely," he said.

Meanwhile ER24's Derrick Banks says paramedics arrived to find material and garments strewn across the store.

"The patients were already outside of the shop when we arrived. Four people were injured and were treated and stabilised on the scene before being taken to hospital."
